The world’s best and most forward-thinking employers use JOON to deliver better benefits to increase workforce engagement and satisfaction. Below are our insights and best practices for the most commonly asked questions for each of the following topics:
What recommendations do you have for a company setting up a benefits program for the first time?
Overall, our advice is to keep it simple at first and get more sophisticated over time based on feedback. A monthly benefit of $75 towards Health & Wellness is our most popular starting point – it covers everything from physical to mental health and encourages benefits recipients to freely invest in their wellness!

What are the best settings to increase utilization?
The larger the reimbursement, the better the utilization. We also recommend a monthly “Use It or Lose It” configuration to ensure wellness stays top of mind.
In addition to Health and Wellness, our next most popular categories are Family Care and Learning & Development. You can turn all the categories on, or start with one and add on new categories every quarter to keep benefits recipients excited and engaged in the program.
The most successful employers motivate their workforces to sign up and utilize their benefits. For example, one company we work with set an incentive that if 90% of the company created an account within the first month they’d get free lunch at the next Town Hall.
What level of utilization should we expect?
There is naturally a high level of intent with JOON, and we see utilization and engagement rates that are 10-20x of typical wellness and benefit programs. See below for sample configurations and utilization rates:
| | Just Getting Started (70%+ utilization) | Leveling Up (80%+ utilization) | | --- | --- | --- | | Startups & Agencies |
